Answer:

Iron is being oxidised.

Explanation:

To determine the right answer to the question, it is important that we write the half reaction.

The equation for the half reaction is given below:

Fe —> Fe^2+ + 2e^-

Next, we shall determine the change in the oxidation number of iron, Fe. This is illustrated below:

Fe = 0

Fe = +2

From the above, we can see that the oxidation number of iron, Fe changes from 0 to +2 i.e the oxidation number of iron, Fe increased.

This indicates that iron, Fe is being oxidised.

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

A liquid has a definite shape and takes on the volume of its container. A gas has both the shape and the volume of its container. The particles in a gas cannot be compressed into a smaller volume. Liquids tend to contract when heated.

What is the molarity of a solution that contains 9.63 grams of HCl in 1.5 liters of solution? 1 H 1.01 Hydrogen 17 Cl 35.45 Chlo
madam [21]
Hey there !

Molar mass HCl :

HCl =1.01 + 35.45 => 36.46 g/mol

Number of moles ( solute) :

n = m / mm

n = 9.63 / 36.46

n = 0.2641 moles

Therefore :

M = moles / volume ( L )

M = 0.2641 / 1.5

=> 0.176 M

identify each material as a compound or a mixture. Caffeine contains hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms in a fixed rat
vitfil [10]
Answer: caffeine is a compound.

Explanation:

1) As stated c<span>affeine contains hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms in a fixed ratio.

2) The definition of compound is a pure substance formed by chemical bonding of two or more fifferent elements. That means a defined ratio of the elements in the compound, which conferes uniform and equal properties to every part of the compound.

Some examples of compounds are salt (NaCl), water (H2O), vinegard (CH3 COOH).

A mixture combines several elements or compounds, not bonded by chemical bonds but mixed in ratios which may vary.
